I agree. I think the issue is that people don't realize it's a finger keyboard. I showed it to my friends at work and they said "That's really small!" and they laughed, having just bragged about their iphone.. and then I typed in their names in about 1 second each and it dawned on them that it's small on purpose. It's also not immediately evident that you can hold a letter and type words that aren't in the dictionary. Perhaps this calls for little tooltips for new users. -- Daniel Benoy http://daniel.benoy.name
